So I am home from Cali and I did go to two places and so here is my synopsis. 1st: Fillippis Pizza. This was really really delicious. I got the chicken parmesan and it was sooo yummy. My family pretty much got the whole rest of the menu: Lasagna, ravioli, pizza, and it was all perfection. I dont think you can go wrong there. I loved the atmosphere. Little Italy was really cool.

2nd: I went to original pancake house. It was soo yummmy. We have it in vegas but we loved it enough to go in cali too. I got the banana pancakes on a whim and it was divine. I must admit i have never been unsatisfied at this place. It rocks.

Sorry im not better at my reviews but it was so good. Thanks for the suggestions. :D

Awesome this sounds good so far. I have to say though that I really wouldn't know what to order or how to order fish at a fresh market. I was thinking more of a restaurant with menus. HAHA... yea im super clueless :D

I am going to visit San Diego, more specifically the Claremont area and I want to take my dad out for a really good fish dinner. Driving is not a problem. As for price, sadly I am poor and would ask for suggestions to more casual and inexpensive places. I really appreciate the help and hope I can get some good responses!

So my Vegas family is going to visit some family in SD and I was just wondering what are some Must Haves in the Clairemont Area? We are willing to drive but if there is something amazing right around the corner why miss out?

It needs to be on the less expensive side because we will have a larger group. Also, no seafood. I love seafood but one family member is very against it so it ruins it for the rest of us. HAHA!

Any of your suggestions would be rockin because at this point im clueless.

When I walk in the Venetian and many other hotels if I do smell something its usually the smell of the large water fountains they have within them. The chlorinated water and such gives off a distinctive scent.

So my family and I are going to the SD Zoo in a month or so and I was wondering if anyone knew of good places to eat for lunch that is close to the Zoo so we can leave and come back after we eat. I know that is very specific but I thought I would give it a shot.

But if you can't think of anything ... at least add some must haves that we should do while in SD in general. ;D

I personally think that Chuck-a-rama is gross but if you are looking for those particular foods its probably your best bet. There is also Golden Corral which is the same concept as Chuck-a-rama but some people like that one better. I like to eat at Cafe Rio. Its one of my Utah favorites. The sweet pork is out of this world. But I lived in Provo not Salt Lake. Its about 45 minutes away. But if you are up for the drive I would HIGHLY suggest Pizzeria Seven Twelve. It is a tiny upscale pizza joint that is fun and delicious!
